Windows 10 AIEP3 and others fail while installing with a c++ redistributable error

All of my Air products (AIEP3, Loom II, Creative FX Suite, etc.) were working a week ago.
Then, for various reasons I did a clean re-install of Windows 10 (Home, 64-bit, i7 processor, 32GB of RAM, much HD space), and have been unable to install any of the plugins.
They all authorized properly with iLok, but during installation, they will get about 2/3 of the way through, and fail with an error related to a Visual C++ library. (see image for a typical example)

Microsoft released the VC++ 2017 redistributable which is 100% backward compatible with 2015. That means Microsoft won ́t let you install the 2015 version.

The issue is that developers, like airmusic, should check if a more recent version is installed and skip the installation. This doesn ́t appear to be the case and hence the installation fails.

I found the tempfiles for the installation and tried to install it manually, but it didn ́t work. You might be able to de-install the 2017 version, re-install the plugin, and then re-install the 2017 version. This could potentially break another software on your computer which is using the 2017 version though.

This can only be fixed by airmusic, and they need to release new installers.

This is what happens if you try to install VC++ 2015 when you already have 2017 installed:
